George W. Bush: Father of Our Country
According to the Boston Globe:
White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card said yesterday that President Bush views America as a ''10-year-old child" in need of the sort of protection provided by a parent. . . .
''It struck me as I was speaking to people in Bangor, Maine, that this president sees America as we think about a 10-year-old child," Card said. ''I know as a parent I would sacrifice all for my children."
Now here's Rush Limbaugh on a similar remark from 1992:
During the October 15, 1992 presidential debate, an audience member who became known as "the Ponytail Guy" rose to ask President Bush, Governor Clinton and Mr. Perot, "[H]ow can we, as symbolically the children of the future president, expect the two of you - the three of you - to meet our needs." This made me puke, because it's just how liberals look at the people: as a bunch of idiot children who can't get along without the government.
That's why Clinton, with his lip-biting promise to feel the Ponytail Guy's pain, nailed the idiotic question.
OK, Rush, we're waiting for you to puke now that your man in the White House has become Clinton and the Ponytail Guy all rolled into one.
